This year, my fashion focus was on curating a wardrobe of versatile, flattering, and often-worn pieces, through shopping more selectively and learning alterations skills. Here are some of my favorite DIY projects, tips & tricks, and seasonal outfits over 2012:

Thank you all so much for following along on my style journey, and for
sharing your own good finds, tips, and feedback. I am incredibly
appreciative of your support and friendships over the years, and look
forward to what 2013 may bring. Wishing each of you a happy new year!

LOL, I just finished posting the same thing (though much less pretty)! I love that you broke it down by season / occasion and am so crazy flattered that my skirts made the cut!! Happy New Year to you and may 2013 bring you much happiness and joy :)

jean, you've been very inspirational this year. you've given me lots of great tips on how to wear certain things, mixing and matching, and what would flatter your body. thanks for a great year. happy holidays and can't wait to see what 2013 brings. ;)

Fantastic! I found an old post I wrote to you about how my ny resolution was to learn to see. I did it and now have my first machine. My resolution this year is to fix my wardrobe before buying anything new. This upcoming weekend I'm going to tackle shortening a blazer thanks to your tutorial.Your blog rocks and you are so great about reaching out to your readers! Please keep it up. I love this new direction of DIY and thrifting. It takes away from the consumerism of many fashion blogs. Happy new year!

Been following you since I got my first full-time grown up job and still my favorite fashion blogger! Your blog helped me change my college/high school closet into a chic, professional young lady's wardrobe. You are so inspirational for not only petite women everywhere, but for young professionals looking to change their clothing choices but don't know where to start. Thanks to you, we've learned about how FIT makes or breaks an outfit, styling tips/tricks and DIYs, to always wait for deals/coupons, and the importance of incorporating timeless/classic/essential pieces in everyone's closet. So THANK YOU JEAN!

I hope you and Nick have a wonderful new year and cannot wait to see what new ideas you bring in 2013!

Happy New Year, Jean! I found your blog couple months ago and it became my favourie one :-) I really enjoy your outfits and I am always impatiently waiting for the next one :-)Your blog is full of great ideas and inspirations. I enjoy your outfits, I am still forming my personal style, so they are quite useful for me. I am 23, I have quite a baby face, I study at uni and work at the same time, so I am trying to look both appropriate for school and professional for work - but your tips make help me :-)I wish you all the best, Roseline, Czech Republic

Great recap, Jean! I always love your trial & error posts and I think we learn a lot from your tips & tricks. : ) My favourite set of outfits from this little recap has to be the autumn compilation! I'm a big fun of nice autumn weather and those outfits speak to me. Hope you & Nick have an amazing new year!

Looks like 2012 was a great fashion year for you, and I look forward to seeing what you have cooked up for 2013! I don't wear petite clothing, but your alteration tips have been extremely beneficial. Keep up the great work.

Hi Jean! HNY! I love seeing all the outfits and posts in this collage format. Your style is has grown tremendously and I can see how you are such an inspiration to many readers and bloggers like myself. I hope you blog more often in 2013 as you are one of my main source of entertainment and inspiration during the workday. ;)

Ever since I came across your blog last year, your endless ideas have definitely saved me from my hoodies and ill fitting jeans phase (high school to second year university) and you have helped me make the transformation to a more mature and better dressed graduating university student (all while on a strict budget) =) I'm very happy that I can dress more appropriately for my age and it is all thanks to you Jean! Have a wonderful new year!

Happy New Year Jean! I love the collage format. Thank you for your wonderful tips and tricks. You are a great inspiration and I admire your dedication to your blog. I'm looking forward to more wonderful post in 2013.

Love your blog! Love that you show readers how to alter clothing bc it's all about a good fit, right? As a food blogger, I know how time consuming it is to create original content. Thanks for the great blog! - Sarah
